Strawberry field forever. This spread from planting 4 seedlings two, maybe three, years ago; in a line next to the grass line. Amazing how they spread. Did dig up many this year and replanted in areas with a void, and so that they didn't interfere with the vegetable plants. Must have at least a thousand strawberry buds growing. Ready to harvest soon.

My first job as a teen(14) was pulling weeds in strawberry fields during the summer..$1.00 an hour, no taxes. Imagine working down a row of strawberry plants 3 to 4 hundred yards long on your hands and knees in a 50 to 60 acre field in the heat of summer..ugh..Figure Lennon/McCartney musta worked pulling weeds in a strawberry field, thus the name Strawberry Fields Forever.

Found out one year if ya don't keep up with the weeding, it gets very hard to tell if there are any strawberry plants in there at all. Now, if any weed growth is noticed at anytime, out they go before it becomes a weed jungle.

My grandfather had a big strawberry patch. He would mulch straw late winter, and black plastic between the rows. Never seemed to have much of a weed problem.
He also would pull up the plastic after they were done producing, till that area, let the runners fill that area, then till up the older patch and cover.

Wow! My bleeding heats haven't even made their presence known yet. Of course, I live in the woods with very little sunlight penetration.
Shouldn't talk about that be in the Health and Nutrition forum or at least Chit-Chat?
Democratic Operatives.
The yellow iris you gave me are blooming.
No shortage of bunnies here! They are doing the wild thing everyday!

Ours are on their last legs. They peaked last weekend. It was the only picture worthy bloom left.
Lilac blooms were here and gone before I knew it.
Noticed lots of little dragonflies today but no butterflies to be seen.
Everything here is overgrown. Daffodils and John quills (?) that my daughter bought back when she was in gradeschool. She's in her 30s now. We've got bleeding hearts, hostas, and lilly of the valley, that Mommy Dearest (my mother) planted throughout the 90s.
Camera iris?
